Chapter 129
After that incident, Elcia stayed in her room for two days without going out.
It wasn’t heartbreaking.
It wasn’t that I was terribly frightened.
Rather, it was relegated to a corner of memory.
‘No, it’s not that I didn’t care.’
Specifically, I remembered the words and actions of that black magician boy, so I just pushed him away.
‘No, no, about him… … .’
It reflexively reminds me of Xian, who was mercilessly pushing himself.
Elcia shook her head for no reason and pushed the memory aside.
I wasn’t particularly angry.
At first, I didn’t feel like asking.
“That’s what’s important… … no.”
The reason Elcia shut herself up is… … Well, it had something to do with that time, but it had absolutely nothing to do with Xian.
Rather, because of their own problems.
“… … my talent.”
Elcia took a breath and picked up a piece of parchment lying on the desk.
Let’s stare and be a little conscious.
Pass s s s s s.
Black light radiated from Elcia’s hand and shimmered, and the parchment was burnt black like ashes.
“I never wanted to be conscious again.”
It’s not that you don’t know your talents.
As the second daughter of the Lyoleate family, there was no way she was unaware of the existence of the family’s inherited skills.
However, I just didn’t want to think about it.
“It was like a nightmare.”
In the past few years, Elcia hadn’t tried to write this voluntarily.
If there was an exception, the last external practice.
It wasn’t the time to talk about personal feelings back then.
But even then, after using this just once, I had to suffer from nightmares without being able to sleep for several days.
“Sian, do you call this a talent?”
I understand what he is saying.
If the possessor denies it, will it only lead to deception?
She, too, once took pride in this.
He believed that it was his own strength and that he could do everything with it.
Until Elcia made a huge mistake.
“… … Chit.”
My head is pounding.
I couldn’t really feel any pain. You know yourself well.
Remembering painful things.
A terrible past left behind by this abominable force.
There is a spectacle projected inside Elcia’s pupils.
A black wave that spreads indiscriminately out of control… … .
The figure of the girl who burns and disappears with that terrible light.
‘This is evidence of evil.’
There is one custom not known to the public in the Lyoleit duchy.
doomsday blood.
When you reach the age to awaken this power, a ritual is performed.
For the first time, using this power to burn a living person.
The target is to sacrifice the most dear person.
“Kuk.”
Elcia clenched her fists and withdrew the skill she was releasing.
Dangerous.
This will only make terrible mistakes over and over again.
“… … can’t write either draft.”
The wedge that suppressed her was not the ability planted by the family head.
memory.
As long as she remembers and regrets her past mistakes, Elcia won’t admit it again with her will.
“… … Is it useless to think about it?”
There was no need to cling to the power of hatred.
I’m sorry for Xi’an who intervened, but after all I can’t accept this.
What she wants more than anything.
“Because the fact that I deny Reolate and use this power is itself a contradiction.”
It’s not about following the family line.
It’s just to make sure that someday this disgusting family is denied and all costs are paid.
“Sian… … . He will never understand.”
Let’s give him some explanation. Elcia came to that conclusion.
Even if it wasn’t, there wasn’t much left for the midterm evaluation.
I have no intention of following the family’s will, but I can’t let go of the current position as much as possible.
While at Philos Academy, there was little interference from the Riolate family.
Let’s think it’s a good thing because it’s like getting rid of the headache thanks to Xian.
‘At least I won’t hurt anyone because of this.’
Elcia was about to come to that conclusion.
Knock. Knock.
A knock on the tightly closed door.
“Is it Rayleen? no… … . is not it.”
There was no way Reirin, the exclusive handmaid, could find her right now.
Not to mention it won’t come this way.
is it another child?
Come to think of it, I already noticed that Raylin was busy with something recently.
Perhaps the head of household ordered something.
“Who are you?”
“… … I’m sorry you already forgot. miss.”
Something is strange.
But Elcia couldn’t point out the attitude of someone outside the door as rude.
I feel ominous.
Familiar feeling. To put it bluntly, the moment before, when he tested the power he hated… … The feeling when recalling that nightmare.
“It would be simple to simply forget that person who didn’t die that day.”
“… … Nonsense.”
No doubt.
“The response is a bit disappointing. … … But it seems you haven’t forgotten.”
“How can you… … .”
“It’s simple. It’s just that she didn’t die because of her clumsiness that day.”
The door opens.
It’s like you don’t need her permission.
However, Elcia did not dare to point out that rudeness.
“Milian… … .”
“Greetings again. Miss Elcia. For the time being, I will serve the lady in place of Mr. Leirin. It is the name of the head of the household.”
To Elcia, who couldn’t say anything anymore, the new maid just kept quiet… … .
“Please, this time, I hope you will show the right side of you as the rising star of the Liolet family.”
Elcia said what she didn’t want to hear the most.
* * *
“Sian, in two days, the long-awaited midterm evaluation will finally begin.”
clap clap clap
Did any festival take place?
No, from a student’s point of view, this is a funeral, right?
“You are strangely excited. Professor Daniel. Isn’t this usually a pretty annoying time for the professor?”
“What do you mean, Xian? Obviously, the evaluation period is busy as hell.”
It’s not the end just by giving the test questions. I have to supervise the test, do the grading, and there are other annoying things to do.
It is said that it is not only the students who cry because they are distressed during the exam period.
“You know what? What is more miserable than that is when there is no busy work.”
“… … wow.”
“It’s not like I don’t have a job either… … . Most of it was because I assisted in handling the exams for other classes.”
Complaining as usual.
“I said to professors in other classes, ‘I hope you don’t mind.’ When I hear something like that, even I get a little teary-eyed.”
“wow… … .”
“… … Even if it wasn’t the same professor!”
As if it didn’t matter now, Professor Daniel’s tone returned to normal.
“I am looking forward to the results this time.”
“It’s terribly burdensome to expect.”
Wouldn’t I already be proud of my grades in front of professors from other classes?
It’s a snob while pretending not to be secretly.
And be small!
“Xian is doing well, so I’m sure he will produce good results.”
… … Depshow who is cramming steadily.
He’s also being carried away by Emily, acting like a child and cramming in an expedient way.
(Come to think of it, I don’t have to say that?)
‘Let’s not… … .’
Because it’s good to let your dreams come true.
After that, Professor Daniel explained the rough schedule again.
5-day written and practical exam schedule.
For 5 days, take a written and practical test for each class.
on the 6th day.
“On the sixth day, all students, without exception, will take a special skills assessment.”
“It’s a special thread. Is it common regardless of class?”
“yes. There are no exceptions unless there are very special circumstances.”
I guess so.
Even in the game days, the test on the 6th day existed.
To put it bluntly, the content that users played during the game days was the test on the 6th day.
It seems to be no different this time.
“In a separately prepared place, all freshmen, including Xian, will take the exam there.”
Detailed rules will be notified prior to Day 6.
“Simply put, you can use all your skills there to take down other competitors.”
survival battle.
I will give grades according to the details of my activities there and reflect them in a not small proportion in the evaluation.
I know.
“It’s a fight, so savage.”
“There’s no denying that it’s the quickest way to see your skills.”
Power is the surest way to prove oneself.
At least in this imperial society, such a trend would remain strong.
Because this is such a world.
“Of course, the evaluation on the 6th day is not everything, and getting good grades in general practical skills and writing is enough to achieve good grades.”
“Because not everyone is good at fighting… … . But you are saying that the evaluation on the 6th day is important to get a high evaluation, right?”
“Yes. At least senior… … Even if you don’t do well, it’s good to keep that in mind if you want to be in the top ranks.”
Professor Daniel already heard and knew that I was aiming for a top 3 finish.
Originally, I wanted to become an excellent student in order to gain the privilege of being a scholarship student.
“If you beat up a few of your classmates, you’re recognizing that I’m the pinnacle, right? huh! Easy!”
Bullsh*t that makes difficult things so simple.
If I’m good at PVP, I’m the best student? Wow, the conditions are like a dream.
good. Let’s spread incomparability. I’ve already thought of a countermeasure.
‘Maybe it won’t end with an ordinary test.’
It’s not as difficult as the main scenario, but this is also an event.
Of course, there is no way things will go as planned.
“I’m looking forward to it, Xian.”
“professor… … .”
“We pay back those who ignored our dark magic class. After it’s over, I’ll laugh at you to my heart’s content.”
“It sounds like the professor’s personal grudge.”
As you can see, there must have been quite a bit of personal resentment.
“I’ll see what the possible results are.”
will unconditionally
Only then will my life… … . It’ll be good news for the future of this damn world.
* * *
I’m probably the only one who’s crazy enough to think about playing the day before the test.
The day before the exam, most of the students went back to prepare for the exam because all classes had no classes or drills.
The guys I usually run into are nowhere to be seen today.
“Chit… … . Should I go back and study?”
(Shouldn’t it be?)
The devil urges him to study.
No, well, I already condensed the knowledge within the scope of the test into a trick and engraved it all in my head.
I am confident in my practice.
Then all that’s left is to play leisurely, right?
Go to bed early after playing to keep your condition in top condition.
“I can’t. Let’s go back, eat something, and go to sleep.”
(I’m not saying I’ll study to the end. He’s so lazy that I want to praise him. Xian.)
“Don’t compliment me on that. It spoils my habit.”
While giving or receiving such stupid bullsh*t in moderation.
From noble mtl dot com
I returned to Elcyane’s mansion for now.
(Come to think of it, I haven’t talked to that lady in days?)
‘Maybe there’s a lot to think about. He must be busy with exams too.’
I did something a few days ago, so I thought it wouldn’t be strange if Elcia kept her distance from me.
‘As long as there are no signs of an accident… … .’
The accident in the test on the 6th day is the content of the quest related to Elcia.
But I saw the opportunity and dealt with the cause in advance.
So there won’t be an incident where Elcia’s ability causes anger there.
‘What will happen instead.’
It was a time when I thought it would be a good idea to make a suitable excuse and check his condition.
(Oh my, that girl.)
It seems that Elcia was also at the mansion.
I turned my head in the direction Emily was talking to, just to check my unfamiliarity, and I… … .
“… … uh? uh uh uh huh?”
I had to vomit strong questions that made me want to shoot question marks over my head.
Elcia wasn’t the problem.
Well, an arrogant lady who seemed to have been in deep trouble for several days, but at a glance, it seemed unusual.
Up until there it was as expected. Maybe it’s because I haven’t awakened properly yet.
However, what I questioned was the attendant following Elsia.
It wasn’t Raylin.
A maid I had never encountered while living here.
She wears the same outfit as the other maids, but what stands out is the mask that half covers her face.
“Why is that guy… … .”
I know who.
“Milian?”
The boss of Chapter 5 of the main scenario.
He had to confirm that she was now accompanying Elcia as an attendant.
